Frame Rail Connectors
And US Cartool installs them on a rotisserie.
I think the take home there is that two professional shops install them in completely different ways with similar results.
If the body fits line up now, I'd install them on the rotisserie. If you really want to be paranoid, get out a level and check the frame to see if its bowed any on the rotisserie. But since you've already installed door supports, I would wager that the frame is in the same shape as it was on the ground.
As far as 10 pages of instructions, those are really big pictures. Which is nice, but all they really do in that 10 pages is bolt them in and weld them up. Also, those instructions are for an E-body. The Hotchkis A-body connectors do not bolt to the back of the spring hangers, and the way the torque boxes will interfere will be different.
